When the MUTT® senses no load, it is often a symptom of a disconnected wire, cut wire, poor pin connection or bad return ground. The MUTT® can detect open circuits in two ways. 1. During Ground Integrity Test: An individual circuit will blink and no audible alerts will be present. 2. During circuit selection: The selected circuit’s LED will blink, while simultaneously the Open Circuit Indicator will flash. The MUTT® will also provide an audible alert (beep).

NOTE: Pulsar® Mode can be a useful troubleshooting tool for finding dead and intermittent shorts. Example: The MUTT® detects a short in the Clearance Light Circuit. The Clearance LED and Overload Warning Indicator will flash and a warning beep will sound. The MUTT® will now enter Pulsar® Mode. Example: Short Circuit in the Clearance Light 3. The MUTT® will now automatically enter Pulsar® Mode.
